Microplastics (MP), an emerging contaminant, have attracted attention all over the world for their increased pollution in the air, water, and soil biota, which in the long run causes ecotoxicological effects as well. Water and Wastewater treatment plants have treatment processes like rapid sand fil...

Here, we report an alternative purification approach where a magnetic nanoparticle composite is used to remove organic, inorganic, microbial and microplastic pollutants from water. The composite is based on a polyoxometalate ionic liquid (POM-IL) adsorbed onto magnetic microporous core-shell Fe 2 O ...

cannot function too far from the water’s surface, where light has difficulty penetrating. “Different from light-activated nano/microrobots, their magnetically propelled counterparts can break these restrictions, offering a fuel-free and environment-independent method for water purification,” wrote the ...
Removal efficiencyDrinking water treatment plantNowadays, the presence of microplastics in drinking water is of concern worldwide due to potential impacts on human health. This paper has examined the presence of microplastics along the Llobregat river basin (Catalonia, Spain) and studied their behaviour...
The report said treatment can remove more than 90% of microplastics from wastewater, with the highest removal coming from tertiary treatment such as filtration. WHO said it was important to address the more significant health issue of inadequately or untreated water, with an estimated 2 billion ...
